Very Texas thing seen on the way home

[No actual pictures because I was being a responsible Oppo]

Coming out of the parking lot of a global super major oil company - back to back Raptors, and after a close look they both had decals from the same dealership. I wouldn’t drive one, but still like the way they look. First one was this blue, second one was flat gray.

Then on the drive home saw a darting vehicle in my rearview mirror with the unmistakable gaping maw of an Audi CUV. Something looked odd in my first glance, which I noticed when it blew by me (probably 80-85 where most traffic was at 70). RSQ5, lowered within an inch of its life, with noticeable APR badge on the back as well. Looked lower than even the picture I posted above.

Have to admit it sounded nice, and I guess that is the only way to get an RS “wagon” here in the states. Dude was definitely driving like a bit of a jerk, though not all out a**hole.

Quite possibly not a true “RS” given the APR badge as well.  It went by me fast enough that I didn’t get a great look.

I love the extended cab Raptors. If I could only convince my wife that an extended cab is fine* for one kid , plus a future kid I’d be buying one tomorrow.

*Honestly it is, but she insists that I get a crew cab, which admittedly would be much more convenient for many reasons.

I’m pretty sure they were never for sale here, so more than likely a lowered SQ5

I don’t really get why anyone would buy a SUV/Xover thing and then lower it, but then I remembered how unpopular wagons and hatches are in the States. But if what you’re doing isn’t affected by a high center of mass, why lower it in the first place?

Probably, but it definitely had an RSQ5 badge.
